Bateries Keep Failing

Post by n_dorphin »

Hey Guys,

I have been having to replace my battery every 8 months or so and have no idea why my pajero keeps killing batteries.

I've tested
Charging volt - 13.9 to 14.2
Amps current draw when off - 0.05

Any ideas?
Anyone having same issue?

Thanks

Well its a classic case of a s**ty earth strap, try taking the earth strap, off the body inner wing and give it a real good clean both mounting point and both ends of the earth strap then coat all faces with petroleum jelly before re mounted, try that and see what that does.

I would say he uses it as an anti corrosive?
